I think the TH-D7 (I own one) suffers from the typical Small-Box-Gadget
Syndrome (c); i.e. too many functions & features controlled by a
too-small keyboard with too few buttons resulting in too many menus
with too many levels presented on a screen with too few
pixels/lines/characters.
This seems to be an endemic problem with most cell phones, PDAs,
hand-held display GPS devices, TV remote controls, digital cameras,
etc.
